Navruz at BNTU

In ancient times, all the peoples of the world celebrated the New Year in March. Unexpected, right? Indeed, for us, the New Year is snow, Christmas trees and the smell of juicy tangerines, but in reality it turns out differently. Nevertheless, everything is explained very simply. Depending on the country and even the continent, the traditions of reckoning have developed differently. For us, the New Year comes in early January, in China - closer to February, and for the countries of Central Asia, the New Year has come today! On the day of the spring equinox, March 21, Navruz is celebrated - the holiday of a new day.      © TIMES.BNTU.BY 21/03/2022
